10 FOREWORD Although published in a different country and under the aegis of a new publisher, the Yearbook of Private International Law retains its original philosophy. As in the past, our goal is to offer readers an international forum for discussing general issues and recent developments at the national and international level worldwide. Compared to previous years, Volume VI looks rather Euro-centric. The main reason is the impressive and continuous rhythm at which the creation of a European system of private international law is progressing at Community level. After the adoption of several regulations dealing with various aspects of international civil procedure, the EC institutions are planning to introduce uniform choiceof-law rules in several important fields, including contract, torts, succession and even in certain areas of family law. The European Court of Justice also appears to be taking increased interest in PIL issues. This development is reflected in several contributions to this volume. An article in the Doctrine section discusses the proposal for a Rome II regulation on conflict of laws in torts, while another one analyses the interesting Avello decision by the ECJ, which could create a new framework for the development of PIL in Europe. Moreover, a special section is devoted to the discussion of general PIL issues ( allgemeine Lehren, as the Germans say), namely characterization and public policy, from the perspective of a European PIL system in fieri, a topic that has captured the attention particularly of Italian scholars. 1 Finally, although the two articles of the Forum section deal with specific topics from a national point of view company law and transnational pollution, they inevitably include an analysis of the impact of relevant European case law and legislation. Another group of articles focuses on the national conflict systems of some European States. An important comparative study based on a legal opinion prepared by the Max-Planck-Institute of Hamburg for the European Commission discusses the treatment of foreign tax laws and judgments in four major European countries (United Kingdom, Germany, France and Italy). Another contribution contains a general description of the PIL system in Poland, one of the new EU Member States. The actual and controversial issue of registered partnership is discussed from the perspective of Spanish law. An English translation of the latest national PIL codification, the recent Belgian Code, is published in the section on Texts, Materials and Recent Developments. Although 2004 did not bring many developments in the field of uniform law, the Yearbook remains faithful to its commitment to report on the elaboration of relevant international instruments. Three articles of this volume are devoted to current endeavours under the auspices of the Hague Conference of PIL and the 1 See PICONE P.

Believing that the increasing internationalization of social and economic relationships requires adequate legal responses at a global level, we are confident that new important achievements in some of these areas will be covered in future volumes.
